Linda, I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I know that a void has now been put in your heart, one that will remain but hopefully becomes sweeter in time. Time passes by quickly and it seems like only yesterday we were where you are now. May you and the family be filled with God's grace, peace, and comfort. Love and prayers.
